| Glad to see the positive reinforcement is working. The method certainly works, if you have the patience to stick with it. The results wil be far longer lasting than compulsion. Probably, the cat problem will not be so easily resolved, due to the dog reacting in prey drive to the stimulus of the cat's fleeing. It is hard to counter drive reactions, as they are not a "behavior" as in the learned sense, they are more instinctual. Can be done, but it is much more challegnging. I didn't want to spend a lot of time dealing with your exact situaiton, so I expedited and used the ecollar, which cured the issue.
